I don't use unix myself so I can't guarantee it works, but is the UNIX statement what you are looking for? Failing that look at OS-COMMAND.

You can do this:

    FILE-INFO:FILE-NAME = "/output/" + loginusername.
    if FILE-INFO:FILE-TYPE = ?
    then do:
        os-command silent value( 'mkdir ' + "/output/" + loginusername ).
    end.

How about OS-CREATE-DIR?

DOH! I totally forgot that one, Rob. And additionally, no error is generated if it already exists. Or you can check if there is another type of error by checking OS-ERROR.
